Leatherhead and Eastbourne Borough meet in this round of the FA Trophy, after both have just come through games with very different outcomes. Leatherhead lost 2-5 in the cup, while Eastbourne Borough won 2-0 in the league. Leatherhead in their own league have 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from 11 matches, scoring 18 and conceding 20; the defence clearly has leaks. Eastbourne Borough have 7 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, scoring 21 and conceding 11, looking steadier in their own league, but the two teams are in different competitions, so these stats do not directly say who is superior. In this game Eastbourne Borough are likely to be the side pushing forward, because their overall form is better and they won their most recent match, while Leatherhead are likely to sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, especially late in the game when they both score and concede a lot. If Leatherhead defend tightly and do not concede easily early on, there is a chance the game ends close or in a draw, which is the path that keeps this game open for the home side.
